▎ 摘　　要

This work reports a room-temperature, solution-phase and one-pot method for macro-assembly of a three-dimensional (3D) reduced-graphene-oxide/copper hybrid hydrogel. The hydrogel is subsequently transformed into a highly conductive aerogel via freeze-drying. The aerogel, featuring reduced graphene oxide (rGO) networks decorated with Cu and CuxO nanoparticles (Cu/CuxO@rGO), exhibits a specific surface area of 48 m(2)/g and an apparent electrical conductivity of similar to 33 and similar to 430 S/m prior to and after mechanical compression, respectively. The compressed Cu/CuxO@rGO aerogel delivers a specific capacity of similar to 453 mAh g(-1) at a current density of 1 A/g and similar to 184 mAh g(-1) at 50 A/g in a 3 M KOH aqueous electrolyte evidenced by electrochemical measurements. Galvanostatic cycling tests at 5 A/g demonstrates that the Cu/CuxO@rGO aerogel retains 38% (similar to 129 mAh g(-1)) of the initial capacity (similar to 339 mAh g(-1)) after 500 cycles. The straightforward manufacturing process and the promising electrochemical performances make the Cu/CuxO@rGO aerogel an attractive electrode candidate in energy storage applications.
